Don’t Try To Hide

from Scott Burnside iof ESPN,
The NHL will be doing a lot of investigative work in the coming weeks to make sure teams aren’t trying to hide players on their injured reserve list heading into the playoffs.
Under the collective bargaining agreement, if a player goes on long-term injury, his team can go over the cap by the amount of his salary. But once a player is healthy enough to play, the team has to have enough cap room for that player to return. The tricky part comes in the playoffs, when there is no salary cap in play. Hence, a team could keep a player on the injured list until the playoffs start and not have to worry about the cap hit.
continued... trade talk too…
